K-9 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Posted May 15, 2023 I suppose it’s a positive sign when other teams wanna poach your front office, but I don’t wanna see Karmanos leave. 1 4 Quote
Eleven Posted May 15, 2023 Report Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) I've always hoped that Adams was "handled from beneath" (no this is NOT THAT @inkman ) and him leaving basically kills the ability to do that, so time to hire Dubas and move on from Adams, who has been a C or C+. Or move on from Adams and give it to Karamanos, which also works. Edited May 15, 2023 by Eleven 2 2 1 Quote

Scottysabres Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 If Karmanos leaves I will reluctantly fill his position. Adam's needs me, and I need Karmanos pay checks. I will hold daily meetings with my advisor committee (ALL OF YOU) to ensure I don't lose the paychecks. We'll name the daily advisors meeting thread "What would Karmanos do?". #BYOB 😃 1 1 Quote

thewookie1 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 I honestly think if Karmanos makes it to the final group the Sabres might have Adams move up to POHO while effectively running the same way. Karmanos gets a raise and title, Ventura gets a raise and title. Sabres stave off losing our analytics department 1 2 Quote

Flashsabre Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 Tulsky has to be the run away favourite with the way Fenway craves analytics. Quote
Doohicksie Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Eh. Karmanos gets an offer, Sabres exceed it a bit and make him GM, with Kevyn as President of Hockey Ops. That's basically how I got my last promotion: interviewed outside of the organization and shortly after I got promoted in place. Edited May 16, 2023 by Doohickie Quote
sabremike Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 I think people aren't giving KA enough credit here. The guy took 3 of the worst hands you could possibly have (Jack injured and demanding out, Sam a year from UFA, Risto a year from UFA after becoming the biggest LOLCOW in the sport) and got an incredible return on all 3 that few people would've thought possible. 5 1 Quote
